Bob Finnan of the News Herald reports the Cavaliers would like to re-sign forward Jawad Williams, but that Williams is still waiting to see if he can find a better offer elsewhere. Finnan says Williams could have an opportunity to start at small forward were he to remain in Cleveland.
Because Williams is a restricted free agent, the Cavaliers reserve the right to match any offer he receives from an opposing team. If no such offer materializes, Williams could simply take Cleveland’s $1.03 million qualifying offer to stay with the team.
